God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen Lyrics - Bruce Cockburn

God rest ye merry, gentlemen, 

Let nothing you dismay 

Remember Christ our Savior 

Was born on Christmas Day 

To save us all from Satan's power 

When we were gone astray. 

O tidings of comfort and joy, 

Comfort and joy 

O tidings of comfort and joy!

In Bethlehem, in Jewry 

This blessed babe was born 

And layed within a manger 

Upon this blessed morn 

For which his mother Mary did nothing take in scorn. 

O tidings of comfort and joy, 

Comfort and joy 

O tidings of comfort and joy! 

From God our Heavenly Father 

A blessed angel came 

And unto certain shepherds 

Brought tidings of the same 

How that in Bethlehem was born 

The son of God by name. 

O tidings of comfort and joy, 

Comfort and joy 

O tidings of comfort and joy!

Now to the Lord sing praises 

All you within this place 

And with true love and brotherhood 

Each other now embrace 

This holy tide of Christmas 

All others doth deface. 

O tidings of comfort and joy, 

Comfort and joy 

O tidings of comfort and joy!
